This April 11 file photo shows actress Lindsay Lohan, a cast member in "Scary Movie V," at the premiere of the film in Los Angeles. Lohan says this time it's going to be different. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired Sunday, the troubled actress declared that this, her sixth stint in rehab, has put her on a path of recovery. Lohan said she's in "a different head space" now and vowed to stay clear-headed and focused in the future.
